András Schiffer dubbed the amendment “Lex Vajna”, insisting that the purpose of the proposed change was to make sure that Vajna’s businesses which include commercial broadcaster TV2 among other media enterprises, could not be excluded from public contracts. Currently businesses that have formed cartels three years prior to a tender cannot participate in one.

The amendment would make excluding such businesses merely an option, he said.
